      Hi MaydaP, Awesome! We're thrilled to hear you like the ease of setup and excellent quality of your Sony A95L. Our flagship OLED TV powered by Cognitive Processor XR brings out our widest color and definitive contrast. For movies, games and more, everything is a deeply immersive experience in 4K QD-OLED. The QD-OLED panel reduces the effects of glare and reflection from daylight and room light so you can see images clearly in even dark scenes. And with Acoustic Surface Audio+, sound comes directly from the right place in the scene. Far more immersive than conventional TVs where sound comes from beneath the screen. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    Loved the TV at first but got annoyed with Google TV after a while and then in less than 1 1/2 years, the screen went black with a red blinking light. I searched the internet and found that this is a fairly common issue with Sony TV's. For a pretty expensive TV, I find that ridiculous and would never recommend this TV nor Sony for that matter to anyone. Sony support was pretty useless after 30 minutes on the phone with someone who barely spoke English. At the end, I was informed that my expensive TV "needed service" duh Then I found out there are NO authorized Sony repair shops in the state of Colorado. Can't make this up.

    I am giving this a 1 star review. The original one I bought had a defective motherboard according to geek squad.I had this tv for 2 weeks(2nd tv) today when I went to watch tv the sound stopped working. Did factory resets and unplug cables. After getting to the Home Screen sound no longer works. Very disappointed in Sony quality control. Bestbuy costumer service have been great helping through this, but seriously I’m goin to the 3rd Sony tv now. Sony I thought you were about quality and making sure your products are top notch and actually worked

    Purchasing this TV was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made. I knew upfront that the feet were too far apart to fit on the entertainment center that I owned. So I ordered some alternate feet at the same time as I ordered the TV. When the geek squad got here to install the TV they didn’t like the feet that I ordered and suggested A wall mount style stand and I said OK. It turned out that this stand was overkill. It was industrial style and raised the TV up way too high. After much discussion with the TV folks at Best Buy I ended up returning it for a LG TV that was of equal quality and looked like it belong in a living room, not a sports bar. Although there was no restocking fee, I was charged a fee to pick up the old TV and install the new one.

      Hi Compact,

      Thank you for telling us about your experience with your Sony A95L and we're sorry to learn it didn't meet your expectations particularly with the supplied TV stand. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. In addition to the feet that come with this TV, this TV is also compatible with most table-top TV stands and wall mounts that support a 11.81 x 11.81 inch (300 x 300 mm) VESA mounting pattern. Please note that wee cannot guarantee the full operation and functionality of our products to any third-party accessories that is not manufactured by Sony.

      It's unfortunate that the unit had to be returned. The versatile, two-way, multi-position stand gives you the option of a low-profile setting that focuses your attention on the picture, or a raised setting that accommodates your soundbar in the ideal position.

      We hope you will consider Sony again in a future purchase. Thank you for the feedback.

      Sincerely,
      Jess Sony_US

    Without an owners manual trying to figure out how to understand and operate it is extremely difficult. When you spend $3000 a manual wouldn't cause Sony to go bankrupt. If I didn't have it mounted on my wall it would have went back to Best Buys.

    Sony has some issues to work out with this. If I want to get my local channels I have to keep cutting power off the on to get the channels back. . I also Keep losing the ability to access my menu button on the remote. I should’ve bought last year’s model. This is not worth the price. Today all of a sudden the picture went dark. Then I changed the channel and it was ok. This is over priced for all the issues. I would not recommend.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The picture is definitely better than LEDs that I am used to but that little bit (and to my eyes it is just a little) of a difference is not worth the price. To think I could have bought 4 100” TVs for the price I paid for this just doesn’t add up. I guess for me it is size over quality. I still have the TV and have 45 days left to return it. 90% sure I’m returning it this weekend. I think the display TVs played mind games on me.

    I’m a professional installer and so far this TV has caused me issues on every single installation.  It’s not playing nice with discreet power codes,  and I’m getting serious synchronization issues with Blu-ray players.  To the point where one disc will have a completely different sync and another disc  and it’s definitely not the player because I tried multiple other brand new Blu-ray players. If they get these issues resolved with a firmware update I will continue to install them considering the picture looks excellent.

    Broken Open Box Sony Bravia XR A95L OLED 4K

    Went to Best Buy in Sherman Oaks CA to purchase Open Box Sony Bravia XR A95L in "Good Condition" and TV OLED was cracked on the bottom Left corner. Tv would also have no image display when "Specialist" tried to turn it on. Wasted two hours of my Saturday due to Best Buy not testing items before listing them for sale online. I can't believe the same broken open box tv is for sale online after they realized it was broken. Wish Bust Buy would have their staff checking their Open Box products before listing them for sale.
